After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics snuck past the Kings 104-103. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
